Question about palettes

I've added a 'windowIsVisible(name)' test to the toggleWindows code.toggleWindows.rb This code below does what you want...


require 'toggleWindows.rb'
  def toggleLayersWindow()
    if @toggle==1
      if windowIsVisible('Layers')
        closeWindow('Layers')
      else
        Sketchup.send_action(21354)
      end
      @toggle=0
    else
      if windowIsVisible('Layers')
        if not @toggle ### 1st go
          if isRolledUp('Layers')
            toggleRollUp('Layers')
          else
            closeWindow('Layers')
          end          
        else
          closeWindow('Layers')
        end
      else
        Sketchup.send_action(21354)
      end
      @toggle=1
    end#if
  end#def

Along with a require 'toggleWindows.rb' to ensure it's loaded before accessing the code.

that's not fair TIG - you're hacking your own code!

i'll give it a spin..

ok folks, seriously what the heck have you got in those brains...i'm thinking of early retirement..

Thank You

Ain't no backing out now!

You'll be drinking binary

Note that TIG's current example works on English Sketchup only. It needs a bit of work to retrieve the localized window titles from the exe's resources, in order to work for all language locale editions.

that's true.. it works fine, but it greys out many context commands on starting SU...

TIG

How are you making the commands? - make one only attached to the toolbar.
The reason for the grey-outs is 'too many commands'.
It's possible to accidentally create a new command every time it's used...
